#SummerGoals Photo Contest!

The results are in!

Thanks to all who participated for making the #SummerGoals contest a success and for
making the judges' decisions very difficult. The winners are:

1st place

$50 gift card to Barefoot Outfitters, Gamecock prize pack, and bragging rights —
Spencer Swearingen: I honestly could not be more ecstatic about coming to the great
University of South Carolina starting in fall 2019. I lived in Henderson, Nevada (a
city just outside of Las Vegas) for my freshman year of high school. This year my
best friends Benjamin and Seneca and I went cliff diving off of a drop of over 20 feet into Lake Mojave in the small town
of Searchlight, Nevada.

Runner-up

$25 gift card to Blue Flour Bakery — Lauren Coffman: This summer I have the amazing opportunity of interning with the Pittsburgh Penguins
of the NHL! As a media relations intern, I'm able to learn the ins and outs of PR
as it pertains to the professional sports industry; writing press releases, creating
bios for media guides and working in InDesign are just a few examples of how I'm effectively
learning and growing in this role.

Runner-up

$25 gift card to Blue Flour Bakery — Jessica Rhinesmith: Started off my summer by Czeching out a new country on my HRSM study abroad.

Most Creative

Two free tickets to see Gryffin perform live at The Senate (formerly Music Farm)
— Michelle Doan: Working my dream internship with Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City. I've been granted
the pleasure of meeting designers such as Randy Fenoli, Tony Ward, Pnina Tornai, Hayley
Paige, and Enaura.
